I did hear that with so much distressed property on the market (at the apartment/condo building or multiple homes level within different neighborhoods) there's an interesting opportunity for would-be cohousing developers to retrofit existing properties as cohousing communities.

With more cohousing properties in the offing in multiple cities, the Bothell-based Cohousing Association of the United States is running bus tours in San Francisco, Portland, and Seattle to school potential co-habitants or would-be cohousing group developers on what the lifestyle involves and how different communities operate.
